Description

@jjw24 If you remember the long standing focus issues we talked about in the past, I just wanted to present the solution I finally found.

My problem was that my Flow Launcher was losing or never getting focus; especially when using it as WIN + R replacement. So, I was abled to open it with its keybind, but then I could not move to anywhere else in its UI.

I am using the Winaero Tweaker and it seems I had the XMouse feature enabled. While this feature is surely interesting in general, it obviously collides heavily with the way that Flow Launcher works. The feature in question is:

https://winaero.com/turn-on-xmouse-active-window-tracking-focus-follows-mouse-pointer-feature-in-windows-8-1-windows-8-and-windows-7/

I am still not 100% sure, but this makes sense for a focus loss issue. I will continue testing and report in if this is not solving the issue still ...

Whenever someone else is having a strange issue like this one, this hopefully helps. It can also be enabled through Windows settings, so Winaero Tweaker has nothing to do with it; it is just a collection of tweaks so you do not have to do it all manually and in one place.
